Commercial and Office Cleaning in Manchester

Most Greater Manchester offices are priced on hours at a charge-out rate of around £16 to £22 per hour, then quoted as one monthly fee. A small suite cleaned once a week usually lands between £45 and £85 a visit. Daily cleaning is often checked against a rate per square foot per year. We measure the space at the site visit and show you the hours behind the figure.

Pay rates are set by the operator running this contract, so ask for them in writing before you sign. The Real Living Wage is the independently calculated rate published by the Living Wage Foundation, and it sits above the statutory National Living Wage. If it matters to your procurement policy, put it in the tender documents and ask for the rate to be confirmed in the contract.

Vetting is an operator policy, so confirm what applies to your site before mobilisation. DBS checking is normal for cleaning inside medical practices, schools and buildings with restricted areas, and many office clients ask for it as standard. Ask which level of check is used, how often it is repeated, and how right to work documents and references are recorded for the staff assigned to you.

We supply the cleaning products, machinery, colour coded cloths and mopping systems as part of the contract. Washroom consumables such as hand towels, toilet rolls, soap and bin liners are usually priced separately, either at cost plus a handling charge or as a fixed monthly sum. Plenty of clients keep buying their own. Either way, the specification says who orders what.

Yes. Most contracts run early morning before eight or in the evening after five, with keys, fobs or an access code agreed at mobilisation. Where a building has a concierge or a managing agent, we work to their access rules and sign in each visit. Daytime housekeeping is available for busy floors, and weekend cleans can be scheduled where the building allows it.

When a cleaning contract moves to a new supplier, TUPE normally applies as a service provision change. The staff assigned to your site transfer to the incoming contractor on their existing terms, with continuity of service preserved. The outgoing contractor must provide employee liability information, and both parties have duties to inform and consult representatives. We handle that process during mobilisation and keep you updated. ACAS and gov.uk publish plain guidance worth reading first.
